Pro-business policies, strong tax incentives, and an influx of transplants eight years after Hurricane Katrina has positioned the New Orleans economy for transition. How can we build on this foundation to create sustainable opportunities for all New Orleans citizens.

Join Roosevelt Pipeline | New Orleans, in association with NOLA Tech Week and sponsored by iSeatz, for a panel discussion to identify how the city can take advantage of our changing economy.
